Carfilzomib is a selective, irreversible proteasome inhibitor (over 80% inhibition at doses of 10 nM and above). In models of multiple myeloma, Carfilzomib potently bound and specifically inhibited the chymotrypsin-like proteasome and immunoproteasome activities, resulting in accumulation of ubiquitinated substrates. It induced a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of proliferation, ultimately leading to apoptosis. It also inhibited proliferation and activated apoptosis in patient-derived MM cells and neoplastic cells from patients with other hematologic malignancies. Carfilzomib showed increased efficacy compared with bortezomib and was active against bortezomib-resistant MM cell lines and samples from patients with clinical bortezomib resistance. Currently it is approved by US FDA for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma in 2012.
How to Use:
- In vitro: Carfilzomib was used at 0.1 µM in vitro and in cellular assays.
- In vivo: Carfilzomib was dosed to mice/rats by intravenous administration at 0.5-4 mg/kg once per day.
